Yummaye

In Yummaye, we arrive in Cairo, where a family reunion brings the past to life. The filmmaker captures the relationship with her mother, a bond full of tenderness and the desire to understand. Through dreamlike imagery and conversations about the family’s varied experiences, a mother’s longing for Eritrea becomes tangible, while the director’s own understanding of what home truly means gradually emerges. A warm and poetic reflection on generational bonds and the closeness that persists despite differing perspectives.
